I heard that you need to stay away from the bearing though.
Maybe I should look into getting a pressure washer... Looks like it does a very nice job.

Heh. I use a reel mower too. Of course mine is a push model. Cuts my 1/4 acre quite nicely.

this is a case of forgetful neglect, last season my buddy was riding the '80 pantera and said that the speedo quit. I should have fixed it right away, but since I was using the sled only occasionaly for someone else to ride, I forgot about it. This is the reason that the chain ate the tensioner after the bearing seals failed in the chaincase.

There's nothing quite like the look of a lawn that is groomed by a reel mower, so smooth and no clumps of grass. Not to mention that I use a LOT less fuel maintaining my yard.

I got the new clutch ordered yesterday, a comet 108 pro 4, and a throttle body boot. It's amazing what you find to fix when you have to take something apart to repair it.

a new one lists at $280.
A machinist friend told me he can make a new shaft for $100.
Guess where this is going.
